ScmzANTHUS, FRINGE FLOWER (S. pinnatus, var. albus). 1-2 ft. 

 A very handsome branching plant bearing quantities of white, pale

 Give a light soil, not too much sun or moisture, as the young plants are 

 liable to die unless conditions are favorable. It is slightly self -so wing 

 with me. July to October. See Blue An., July.
